the question a lot of critics are asking of the obama administration, the why now, right? because isis has been taking control for eight months now beginning with fallujah. and we all know what happened what's been going on in syria. >> right. arguably, it's true that the obama administration might have wanted to be something more decisive earlier on. i've been critical with them for sticking with nuri al maliki in giving him a blank check while he was alienating the population for years which is part of what allowed isis to grow. look, just because america can't do everything doesn't mean we shouldn't do anything. syria is an extremely difficult case where i think our capacity to act militarily to do anything positive would be very, very limited. there are great tragedies all over the world. all over the world. when you have a situation where at relatively low cost you can save people who are going to die and who are really at risk for genocide since it's an attack on the entire religious group. i think it says something good about us as americans that we have an impulse

back to the obama administration, after san bernardino congress sought to impose further restrictions and there were some in congress who were looking at actually shutting down immigration, shutting down refugees. the administration had to work with congress and we were trying to keep this in check. and we focused on four countries out of the seven and there was no ban. what we did do was take away the possibility of people who had pass ports in those countries and other countries who could come in without a visa under the previous law, we took that right away, requiring a visa. but there was never any ban imposed by the obama administration. >> think back to the establishment argument. the constitution says congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion. it is such an incredible stretch to apply that to an anti-terrorism regulation that focuses on countries where there's a history of terrorism even if there are other countries that have a history of terrorism. then to say the other additional argument is that because it rescues people who are the victims of religi
